Our Lady Queen of the Franciscans | Saint Francis & the Immaculate Conception (15 December)

About this sermon

Today we celebrate a Franciscan Marian feast honoring Our Lady, Queen of the Seraphic Order, a title deeply rooted in the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi and officially granted in the Litany of Loreto by Pope Saint Pius X. In this homily, we reflect on Mary’s queenship as an office of love, her unique role as Advocate of the Franciscan Order, and her intimate participation in Christ’s redemptive mission. Saint Francis’ profound love for the Blessed Virgin led him to entrust the entire Franciscan family—friars, Poor Clares, and tertiaries—to Mary’s maternal care. The reflection explores: Mary’s maternal queenship, not as domination but as the sweet power of love Her role in guiding souls to eternal salvation The Franciscan devotion to the Immaculate Conception, long before its dogmatic definition Mary as Mother, Queen, and Advocate, leading the Seraphic Order toward holiness This homily invites all the faithful to renew their trust in Our Lady’s guidance, to live faithfully under her queenship, and to manifest her maternal role within the Church and the world. 🙏 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
